Pentecost watched Caterham, the Cardinal at the cathedral and Upper Norwood. Organ and singing Peter Hurford, Come down O Love divine and O thou who camest and splendid Bach. Zoom with Caterham. Gutters cleared and replaced at the back. Downstairs loo seat replaced at last! Fisher House and John Wilson at St George's cathedral including blessing of oils. Pope spoke so well for Thy Kingdom come. L'elisir d'amore light relief from the Met.  t a gre The BBC TV Pentecost programmes were not great. Vespers from Blackfriars. Really enjoyed the quiz devised by Fr Daniel Trott - did well on birds and the Bibles not so good on Disney themes! Zoom Ensemble 26 was lovely. Now watching Young musician string final. at idea to blessathedral. I wonder what other dioceses are doing? ge's cathedral. I wonder what other dioceses are doing?

Watched Pentecost vigil from St Mary's cathedral Sydney. Good choir and homily. More photos into albums. Framed Mum and Dad's coloured wedding photo. Think it is hand tinted. Spent the morning on Henry portrait. Bellini La Somnambula on from Met bit not really my thing. Roderick Williams singing Butterworth in countryside. Lovely. Richard McVeigh playing at Arundel cathedral. Mata Hari remarkable ballet from Amsterdam. I have 2012 Berlioz Trojans programme from ROH and Olympics. 

Trojans from the Met. Have filled 1 and a bit albums wi National theatre This house. Thanks to Simon Surtees for recommending it. The programme on TV quizzes showed why Eggheads and Only connect are so clever. th  We just had our first person in the house with mask and gloves. He confirmed we need a new freezer. Already ordered a new laptop screen and the fire stick for TV not working properly. Add to that gutters to be cleared, sorting out damp, getting bushes trimmed back and garden fence. What next? phoSpe More photos in albums. 2 cupboards full of videos and cassettes. Most of them will get binned. Pity they can't be recycled. Watching Dutch National ballet Mata Hari on You tube.

A house in time interesting, Balletboyz and male dancers, Father Brown, Animal park. The last caps for NHS. At lunchtime South London interfaith group.I read Laudato Si prayer. Interesting to watch 2 versions of Manon and Faust so close together. I prefer Puccini to Massenet and Berlioz to Gounod! Real Marigold Hotel was good. A house in time always interesting.

Fisher House Mass was lovely. A favourite passage from Acts when the Romans literally haul Paul out of dispute. The prayer for unity in the Gospel.Dustmen took the extra box of papers so the paper bin is now again 3/4 full. The accumulation of 45 years thrown out! Domingo and Scotto on Met 1980 Man on Lescaut. I prefer Puccini to Massenet.A house in time interesting, Balletboyz and male  dancers, Father Brown, Animal park. The last caps for NHS. At lunchtime South London interfaith group.I read Laudato Si prayer.

Yesterday could not get into meditation zoom because password was wrong. Today I forgot 10 a.m. At  St Johns .I did "attend" Fisher House. My phone 's connection to internet is  playing up but I did manage to upload a video made earlier but I po sted the same prayer 3 times! June Catena online had me alternately fuming at people who don't want change at all and smiling at an article questioning how many Catholics believe in the Real Presence. I have read The Tablet online my copy still has not come. Future historians will battle with so much now online!  Ernani from the Met 2012 not Verdi 's greatest. The soprano a bit squally, Dmitri dominates the stage. Saw this in Verona 1972 and rain stopped play 5 minutes from the end.I said " La  comedia e finita" as everybody ran for cover! It was hilarious! We all got wet any way!My meditatio quiet session was wrecked by watching the end of Come dine with me beforehand! Why would a man with 2 posh cars and a swim...

Berlioz Damnation of Faust from the Met. Lepage production. Have sung in the chorus several times wonderful score.The Tablet recommended Eugene Onegin from Komische Oper Berlin and it's excellent. Watched Bake off the Professionals, a very British hotel, Animal Park and Father Brown. Hot so shorts on. Could not get into quiet time zoom. Liz's Faust score records 5 performances including Levine. I recall Charles DuToit.
